Holly Madison Plans To Eat Her Plancenta

Waste not, want not! Like many mothers before her, nine-months-pregnant Holly Madison has plans for her placenta after she delivers her baby daughter. “This might sound gross, but I’m totally planning on having my placenta turned into pills I can take after giving birth,” the former Playboy model, 33, wrote on her blog on Wednesday, Feb. 27.

Sharing clip art of said placenta pills in a glass jar, the Girls Next Door star (who will share her daughter with boyfriend Pasquale Rotella) added: “I heard it helps women recover faster and I want to recover as quickly as I can!”

Due March 5, Madison is not the first Hollywood celeb to consume so-called placenta pills, in which a woman’s placenta is cleaned, cooked, processed and put into capsule-type pills, said to help new moms nourish their bodies after chilbirth and potentially curb postpartum depression. Mad Men actress January Jones also opened up about consuming placenta pills after welcoming her son Xander in September 2011.
